Environment Friendly DVD Cases: The Greening of Music and Film
Although many people obtain their favorite music and movies electronically through online music stores and channels, DVDs are still enjoying brisk sales. But in case you’re worried about what happens to old DVD cases or are concerned about what the manufacturing process does to the environment, you’ll be glad to know that now, environment friendly DVD cases are available. They’re as good as the older versions but are considered a better alternative because they do not require additional resources to produce. In short, they are a sound solution to the problem of waste that results from the manufacture and use of most consumer products.
The problem with DVDs
Older DVD cases are made from synthetic materials, primarily plastics. Unfortunately, majority of plastics are derived from fossil fuels including coal, natural gas and oil. Environmentalists frown on this because of the demands it imposes on the earth’s resources. Although one DVD casing may not amount to a lot of plastic, imagine having millions of them produced each year. Sadly, many of these get discarded and thrown in the trash, ending up in landfills and potentially causing pollution and buildup. As is common with most fuel-based materials, plastic DVD cases also do not break down.
Environment friendly DVD cases, on the other hand, use renewable and biodegradable materials. Lately, major music and film producers have supported the use of recycled DVD cases for their products. Sleeves are usually made from cardboard, a paper-based material that is sturdy enough to hold its shape and protect the disc. Cardboard is environment friendly because it can be recycled and it will decompose in a landfill. The advantage to this type of packaging is obvious — not only does it provide a green solution to the problem of waste and pollution, it also helps minimize bulk in terms of storage.
Environment friendly DVD cases also reduce the total amount of shipment. Because they’re made from materials such as paper and are considerably lighter, they can also result to reduced costs, which is a boon to end users.
How environment friendly is your DVD case?
It’s good to note that this type of packaging varies in its component. Some cases are made of only 20% recycled material while others are 100% recycled. When checking out environment friendly products such as DVD cases, you might want to consider the percentage of recycled material used to keep informed.
Environment friendly DVD cases are relatively new, however, which explains why it is still limited to a few manufacturers and distributors. However, the demand for such products is expected to rise, thanks to its increasing popularity with manufacturers and consumers alike. As the drive toward a greener alternative to the most common consumer products intensifies, ther e might even come a time when every DVD case you’ll ever buy will be 100% recycled.
